You need a real upholstery staple gun. You won't find a quality upholstery gun at a hardware store.

Upholstery staple gun power is required to drive staples into upholstery woods which are strong and hard, after all, they must support your royal hiney. Only an upholstery staple gun is strong enough to penetrate the hard wood. Having the right staple gun is a huge part of any upholstery project. Staple guns help you with many different parts of the upholstery process and are an essential tool in every upholsterer’s toolkit. We’ve got a selection of the best upholstery staplers for you to choose from, whether pneumatic or electric.

Pneumatic or Electric Staple Gun? Everyday use - get pneumatic. Occasional or remote applications, get electric.

The type of stapler you purchase really depends on which kind of upholstery projects you will be undertaking with the tool. Different staplers have different strengths, and should be used accordingly.

The general rule is use a pneumatic for everyday use and an electric for occasional projects or those away from the shop. Pneumatic staple guns are some of the most versatile staplers used by upholsterers. The best thing about pneumatic guns is their affordability coupled with power. They won’t break the bank, but they will give you the strength you need to get the job done.
The strength of a pneumatic staple gun comes from the compressed air. The machine uses an air compressor to force the staple into the furniture. The amount of force behind the staple gun can be controlled by the amount of pressure coming out of the air compressor. One problem with pneumatic staple guns is that you must also invest in an air compressor. These can be expensive. For that reason, an electric staple gun may be a better choice.

Our electric staple guns offer the power of pneumatic ones but we still recommend the pneumatic for every day businesses.

Our electric staple guns are specifically built for upholstery. The electric staplers you find at the hardware store cannot drive the staples into hardwoods. These are a great tool for upholstery, just be sure to use safety whenever children are around!
The last type of upholstery stapler is a manual staple gun. The manual gun won't work well. Even with strong hands the manual staple gun cannot drive into hard woods. Don't be fooled by their affordability!

Stay away from tools with the safety built into the nose. You can't fire them into tight reaching spots.

Upholstery staple gun tools with the safety in the nose, are a pain! It's difficult to fire into hard to reach places because the nose must be kept flush with the wood for the safety to retract. Our staple guns are not throw away tools - they are built to last.

Maintain your upholstery staple gun. If it breaks, don't pry out the orings and other parts.

Always add about 4 drops of pneumatic oil to your pneumatic upholstery staple gun every month to preserve the o-rings inside. Then fire it a few times to make sure any extra oil gets blown out and not blown onto your project. Spare parts for all our staple guns are available so save your parts schematic. When replacing parts use a proper tool to pull of orings and don't scratch the parts or you'll cause an air leak.
